>>17488513I want to be Lyra. No, I mean, I really REALLY want to be Lyra. It's a feeling that I got sometime after HG/SS were released. I don't know what it is, but I feel drawn to her. Anytime I see something with her, I automatically feel myself self-inserting into her character. Even if it's some weird shipping thing. I really really liked watching the Lyra episodes of the anime at one point and HG/SS is the only game where I felt like I could really "role-play" as the character, just because I could be Lyra. I didn't think Johto was that great before, but the inclusion of playing as Lyra makes me want to play it again and again. When playing I feel like I'm actually being Lyra than playing a game. I do weird stuff while doing it, or at least stuff most people probably wouldn't normally do. I call some of the npcs pretty frequently, as if they were friends. I go for walks with the Marrill pretty often to visit npcs. After going on a pokesho beige one time I wound up semi-stalking Morty.
The feeling was so strong during the end of 4th gen and early 5th gen. It faded a bit over time, but it still presents itself whenever I see Lyra posted anywhere, even now. I feel like I feel everything Lyra does. I want to be her, I need to be her. I'm connected to her somehow.
I want to be Lyra.
